“MLS and the MLS Players Union reached agreement today on a new five-year collective bargaining agreement that will improve player compensation, give most players guaranteed contracts and improve players’ ability to move from team to team. MLS Commissioner Don Garber said the new deal will “very positively … set the stage for a new relationship … between Major League Soccer and its players.” He added, “Our goal was to improve our relationship with the players and address their deepest concerns, but do so in an evolutionary way rather than revolutionary way.” (via Sports Business Daily)
